Scribus Generator not working

[perlwonk]

I'm running Scribus 1.1.5 on Ubuntu 20.04. I downloaded the three scripts (ScribusGenerator.py, ScribusGeneratorCLI.py and ScribusGeneratorBackend), put all in the same folder and from there ran ./ScribusGeneratorCLI.py test.sla , where test.sla was just a simple test file and got this output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./ScribusGeneratorCLI.py", line 124, in generator = ScribusGenerator(dataObject) File "/home/chuck/Combarriers/Documents/test/ScribusGeneratorBackend.py", line 62, in init logging.config.fileConfig(os.path.join( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/config.py", line 71, in fileConfig formatters = _create_formatters(cp) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/config.py", line 104, in _create_formatters flist = cp["formatters"]["keys"] File "/usr/lib/python3.8/configparser.py", line 960, in getitem raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'formatters'

Hello @perlwonk Please delete those 3 script files and follow the install instructions at https://github.com/berteh/ScribusGenerator#how-to-install-scribus-generator-

You actually need a few more files, all provided in the zip package. (seems to be missing the logging.conf file in particular, in this case)

Then try opening and running the "business card.sla" from the example directory, for instance.

Have fun, and don't hesitate to come back if you have problems, and to share you examples.

and Scribus 1.1.5 is ancient, unless it's a typo ;9

You can find a more recent scribus-ng (1.5.6 for your distro) at https://launchpad.net/~scribus/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

no answer... I guess an update of Scribus and ScribusGenerator did solve your issue.
